The Walla Walla River meets the Mighty Columbia—and here I place the furthest west cache in the WWRiver Series. The Walla Walla River spreads out into a delta like area that is known as Lake Wallula. The land is part of a nature habitat and also a hunting area. About a mile west, the Walla Walla River empties its water to join The Mighty Columbia on it way to the Pacific Ocean.
The cache is a large plastic jar with the usual contents. Depending on what route you take to the cache, you might encounter some marshy area. If you park at N46 03.496 W118 51.470 (see photo of trailhead) and stay north until you get close to the cache, there is a trail/road to follow and only a little bushwacking that way.

THE WALLA WALLA RIVER
The Walla Walla River is an interstate river that originates in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. It then runs north into Washington State and west to the Columbia River. This river is approximately 80 miles long. It originates at an elevation near 5800 feet, and at its confluence with the Columbia River, it’s elevation is approximately 330 feet above sea level. The Walla Walla River is spawning habitat for both bull trout and steelhead. The water is also widely used in the summer for crop irrigation. The name “Walla Walla” comes from the Native Americans who lived in the valley. It’s meaning is “many waters” or “small, rapid steams”.
